Stanley's Mouth

STANLEY'S MOUTH by Mike Retter.
Retter's 9:16 feature from 2015, made in Adelaide.

Melbourne Premiere screening.

Starring:
Stanley Browning
Patch Oliver

Directed by Mike Retter, Produced by Allison Chhorn

​A portrait of Stanley, who encounters new experiences unhindered by his Christianity. As his childhood memories yearn the nostalgic connection with his father, his relationship with another boy, Patch, becomes increasingly consuming.

Through the vertical frame of textured and experimental imagery, his emotional turmoil becomes wrapped up in visceral intensities and nostalgic melancholy.

"An extraordinary, haunting, poignant, bold and brave film.
Stanley has a face to make the angels weep."
- Peter Goers, ABC Radio

SONGS OF REVOLUTION
by Bill Mousoulis

Mousoulis' feature from 2017, 118 mins, shot in Greece.

Melbourne indie filmmaker Bill Mousoulis’ foray into Greek radical music, its songs of resistance, pain, and sorrow, Songs of Revolution is a hybrid film, part documentary, part fiction, and veritably bursting at the seams. Greek musicians Antouan Parinis, Dimitris Poulikakos and Thanos Kois (amongst others) feature in the film, with actors Thodoris Arianoutsos and Marianthi Koliaki (amongst others) in fictional sequences. An eclectic film with different musical styles and different cinematic forms intermingling.
